Our area can be affected by tornadoes and we want our community to be prepared as best they can in case the worst happens.

• Know the best places to shelter both indoors and outdoors
• Always protect your head

We at the Monroe County Emergency Management Office strive to be quick and informative as possible when a tornado may strike.  This is why we monitor our County Outdoor Warning Sirens daily to ensure quick notification.  Make sure to sign up for our county Citizen Alerts for critical information when you need it most.
